Hit the Road (2021) 95% EDIT “Panah Panahi’s debut feature is a stunningly assured road movie which balances emotional nuance with a bubbling undercurrent of political critique. ” – Sight & Sound May 14, 2026 Full Review Mothering Sunday (2021) 78% EDIT “Mothering Sunday points a way to a future where filmmakers can go back to much-visited times and dare to do things differently.” – Sight & Sound May 14, 2026 Full Review The French Dispatch (2021) 75% EDIT “Poignant moments like this feel like Anderson is evoking a deeper, more personal, even contemporary resonance than just a pastiche tribute to great journalists of the past.” – Sight & Sound May 14, 2026 Full Review Sweet Thing (2020) 93% EDIT “The film’s real musical guardian angel is Van Morrison, whose lilting track from Astral Weeks inspired its title. The way the song is resung and its meaning reconfigured throughout the film shows how attuned Rockwell is to his material.” – Sight & Sound May 13, 2026 Full Review Close Your Eyes (2023) 93% EDIT “[As] characters gaze up at the screen, and out, perhaps for the final time, at their audience, it’s hard to envisage a more emotionally overwhelming farewell, if that’s what Close Your Eyes becomes, from a vital, too-often missing, force in world cinema.” – Sight & Sound May 13, 2026 Full Review Agent of Happiness (2024) 95% EDIT “What gradually emerges, then, is a fascinating way of considering happiness. For almost everyone here, it’s a present-tense assessment.” – Sight & Sound Dec 22, 2025 Full Review We Live in Time (2024) 79% EDIT “What Pugh and Garfield’s best efforts cannot do, and in fact the entire project seems to intrinsically rail against, is anchor Almut and Tobias in real time, real life.” – Sight & Sound Nov 20, 2025 Full Review The Ice Tower (2025) 80% EDIT “Marion Cotillard’s impressive performance as a glacial screen diva is matched by newcomer Clara Pacini in Hadžihalilović’s coolly calibrated vision of The Snow Queen. ” – Sight & Sound Nov 20, 2025 Full Review A Complete Unknown (2024) 82% EDIT “This film struggles to balance the conventional notes of a music biopic with the singer’s shapeshifting artistry. ” – Sight & Sound Nov 11, 2025 Full Review Hard Truths (2024) 95% EDIT “It’s easy to take Leigh’s work for granted, even minor-key projects such as this, but the hardest truth of all is how irreplaceable he still is in British cinema.” – Sight & Sound Nov 6, 2025 Full Review Tornado (2025) 66% EDIT “Maclean achieves his aim: to provide exhilarating samurai action while asking existential questions about the elemental forces that dispassionately shape, and can destroy us. ” – Sight & Sound Nov 5, 2025 Full Review The Rule of Jenny Pen (2024) 72% EDIT “Rush and Lithgow are clearly committed, one splenetic with frustration and fear, the other thrumming with beady-eyed malevolence. But their duel is largely one-note, shorn of psychological nuance or clashing worldviews. ” – Sight & Sound Nov 5, 2025 Full Review Jurassic World Rebirth (2025) 50% EDIT “Connective tissue between CGI-heavy set-pieces is perfunctory at best... and usually reliable David Koepp’s script bogged down with flat humour, paper-thin characters and plot holes so vast a T-Rex could amble through them. ” – Sight & Sound Nov 4, 2025 Full Review Ellis Park (2024) 100% EDIT “Director Justin Kurzel’s first documentary offers poignant insight into the world of Warren Ellis as it follows the musician to the animal sanctuary he co-founded with activist Femke den Haas. ” – Sight & Sound Sep 26, 2025 Full Review Spinal Tap II: The End Continues (2025) 66% EDIT “Playing a little too much like the hagiographic brand of music doc that Spinal Tap once ruthlessly skewered Spinal Tap Mark II offers what David St Hubbins once called a little too much perspective.” – Sight & Sound Sep 12, 2025 Full Review The Old Man Movie (2019) 100% EDIT “It’s fascinating, though, how such an unrepentant film also espouses right-on message.” – Sight & Sound Jun 8, 2023 Full Review Val (2021) 93% 4/5 EDIT “Amazing archive and moving modern footage make a compelling self-portrait of a complicated star.” – Little White Lies Aug 5, 2021 Full Review The 40 Year-Old Virgin (2005) 85% 3/5 EDIT “The scatological skits are predictably outrageous, but it's the attention to detail that really pays off. The raucous buddy banter is packed with throwaway gems and Stitzer himself is given a touchingly real personality.” – The List Apr 26, 2019 Full Review War of the Worlds (2005) 76% 3/5 EDIT “If director Steven Spielberg's past close encounters with benevolent aliens seems worlds away, his habitual technical mastery hasn't deserted him.” – The List Apr 25, 2019 Full Review Us (2019) 93% EDIT “Peele is both cinephile enough to reflect those that came before him, and sufficiently smart and savvy to create his own unique mythology.” – Sight & Sound Mar 20, 2019 Full Review The Day Shall Come (2019) 65% 5 EDIT “Charitably, one could consider this a comment on America's abandonment of citizens suffering from mental health issues.” – Sight & Sound Mar 13, 2019 Full Review Inferno (2016) 23% 4/10 EDIT “Despite a few heavy-handed attempts to jazz things up visually, Inferno, as with its two prequels, is basically the exact cinematic equivalent of its Dan Brown airport novel inspirations.” – IGN Movies Oct 12, 2016 Full Review Bridget Jones's Baby (2016) 78% 7/10 EDIT “On its own fluffy, feelgood terms, Bridget Jones's Baby is a big improvement on the last film and a welcome return to an older, occasionally wiser modern screen heroine.” – IGN Movies Sep 15, 2016 Full Review Weiner (2016) 96% EDIT “The facts of the case are outlandish enough, but what's even more eye-opening is that so much of it has been documented in real time by directors Josh Kriegman and Elyse Steinberg.” – Sight & Sound Jul 8, 2016 Full Review The Neon Demon (2016) 59% 5/10 EDIT “It's a strikingly pretty, occasionally dazzling, but more often very silly, vapid film; too cool for school, and therefore hard to get upset or excited by.” – IGN Movies Jun 23, 2016 Full Review
